Lidl reviews

The contributory pension scheme doesn´t begin until the 2nd year, some of their graduate schemes are quite different from expected so ask them before applying. Travel expenses are not covered. Unless you have a degree in Enviromental health or related studies, don´t apply for the "Health&Safety" scheme because their work is mainly about food safety!! Their desired profile for a H&S professional must have an academic background related to environmental sciences. German speaking is not considered to be advantageous, even when there is the opportunity to spend 6 months at their International Head Office in Germany. No feedback is provided after the assesment session

Expectations of workloads are unrealistic, no room for growth unless joining the graduate scheme. Micromanagement stifles opportunities to achieve or gain recognition for work. Long working hours at all levels and its frowned upon to be seen leaving on time. Many big decisions affecting workloads are made in and kept secret, creating a disengaged and unhappy workforce. You're expected to work bank holidays unless you pre-book them off in advance. They have one rule fits all policy, which doesn't cater for staff with children or other personal factors.
